[Csync2] Any reason why "-C" option restricts csync2 config files to be limited to alphanumeric characters?

Hi,

I would like to utilize modular configuration files which csync2 supports;
but have a curiosity to know why those additional configuration file names
are restricted to just alphanumeric characters ([a-z0-9]). This restriction
also prevents one from grouping those modular config files into subfolders,
like say, "essential", "optional", "large", etc which would have helped
schedule different intervals for different sets of configuration files.

If there is no technical reason to restrict csync2 config file name to just
alphanumeric characters, then would it be a good idea to patch to allow the
above mentioned usecases? i.e allow other characters like '_', '-', etc and
also allow config files to be put under subdirectories of 'sysconf' dir or
probably even allow specifying absolute path names...

Would it be welcomes if i try to patch this up?

Thanks and Regards,
Samba
